Solid detergent compositions comprising sesquicarbonate

Abstract

Solid detergent compositions comprising from 8-60 wt. % of a surfactant system and having a Grand Compatibility Index of at least 0.5, preferably at least 0.6, are claimed. The use of these detergent compositions in a washing process for soiled laundry is also claimed.

What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A solid detergent composition comprising from a 8 to 60 wt % of a an anionic surfactant system and having a Grand Compatibility Index of at least 0.5 and including at least 5 wt % of an alkali source wherein the alkali source is a sesquicarbonate having an amorphous structure, said composition comprising less than 5 wt % of inorganic borate salts, less than 3 wt % of inorganic phosphate salts and less than 10 wt % inorganic chloride salts. 
     
     
       2. A detergent composition according to  claim 1  having a Grand Compatibility Index of at least 0.6. 
     
     
       3. A detergent composition according to  claim 2  having a Grand Compatibility Index of at least 0.8. 
     
     
       4. A detergent composition according to  claim 1  comprising enzymes.
